Our Alloy Steel Products
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Steelnix offers a variety of alloy steel products designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Our alloy steels are created with precise chemistry and heat treatment, resulting in consistent strength, toughness, and wear resistance. We provide conventional and custom-sized bars, plates, sheets, tubes, and forgings, as well as cutting, machining, and certification to required specifications.
What is Alloy Steel?
Chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, and silicon are added to carbon steel to make it alloy steel. These additives increase hardenability, toughness, fatigue life, and high-temperature performance. Unlike stainless steel, which is intended for corrosion resistance through high chromium content, engineering alloy steels are designed to provide mechanical performance for structural and rotational components. The end product is a family of materials that can be heat treated to fulfill specific service requirements.
Benefits of Alloy Steel
Alloy steel provides an excellent blend of performance and value. It can be through-hardened or case-hardened to produce a hard, wear-resistant surface with a strong core, making it perfect for gears, shafts, and engine components. Its increased strength reduces section size and weight, while better fatigue and impact resistance ensures reliable operation under shock loads. Many grades maintain their characteristics at greater temperatures, making them ideal for pressure, power, and process applications. Alloy steel helps decrease overall manufacturing costs by providing steady machinability and uniform outcomes following heat treatment.
Applications of Alloy Steel
Because of its adaptable chemistry and heat treatment, alloy steel is employed in a variety of industries, including transportation, energy, heavy equipment, and manufacturing. Transmission components, axles, crankshafts, fasteners, and bearings are common applications in automobiles and off-road equipment. In the energy and process sectors, alloy steel is used in flanges, valves, pressure vessels, boilers, and pipework that is subjected to heat and pressure. Wear parts, pins, and bushings in mining and construction are made of alloy steel, whereas certified grades are used in aircraft fittings and landing gear components where great strength and toughness are required.
Types of Alloy Steel
To meet a variety of requirements, alloy steels are classified into various families. Low-alloy Ni-Cr-Mo grades 4130, 4140, and 4340 offer high strength and hardenability for shafts, bolts, and structural components. HSLA and microalloyed steels use small amounts of niobium, vanadium, or titanium to provide high strength without requiring full quench-and-temper cycles, which is beneficial for welded frames and big fabrications. Chrome-moly grades are chosen for creep and heat resistance in boilers and pressure vessels. After carburizing or nitriding, case-hardening steels such as 8620 form a hard surface with a robust core, which is valuable in gears and drivetrain components. Bearing and spring steels, such as 52100 and 5160, provide high service life in applications involving rolling contact or cyclic loading.
